First of all, regular script and running script are both writing skills that normal people, especially beginners, must master, and they play different roles in China's calligraphy.
Because of its dignified posture, concise strokes and beautiful rhythm, it has been widely recognized and become the most popular calligraphy style. Therefore, as a person who loves calligraphy, we must master these two words in a diversified way.
Judging from the degree of difficulty, it is easier to master running script. Compared with regular script, running script is more clear and concise in shape. The strokes of running script are very regular, and there are few typos and strokes, which is suitable for beginners to practice. Moreover, the heroic characters and radicals in running script are simpler than those in regular script, which can help beginners to be familiar with various radicals and structural rules.
In contrast, regular script is more difficult to practice, its font is simpler, its stroke combination is more complex and changeable, and it has certain regularity and logic.
Moreover, in the process of writing regular script, every word is required to be extremely delicate. Therefore, compared with beginners, regular script strokes are more exquisite, which requires longer practice and constant deliberate practice to accumulate the foundation.
However, this does not mean that beginners should not practice regular script first. In fact, regular script and running script have some connections and blends in basic skills and applications.
For example, after mastering running script, we can deepen the application on the basis of cultivating running script and gradually develop into running script; Similarly, after a period of regular script practice, beginners will understand the essence of calligraphy art more deeply and benefit a lot from it.
Therefore, it is suggested that beginners learn two fonts at the same time, and master them flexibly according to their own personal situation, so as to gradually improve their writing ability and sense of language.
In addition, as any form of culture and art, the study of calligraphy needs to reach the realm of love and practice. When practicing calligraphy, you need to know what you want to achieve first.
If it's just to cope with the daily calligraphy work, practice the regular script several times first, and then consider challenging the more difficult regular script after a period of study and practice; If you want to relax, experience the beauty of writing and enjoy the pleasure brought by writing, then you can give priority to choosing the style that suits you best.
In short, for beginners, whether it is running script or regular script, learning calligraphy should hold a serious and awe-inspiring attitude, pursue self-breakthrough and overcome self-limitation.
